Fake 'Tom Selleck' AI Romance Scam Ends in Tragic Murder-Suicide of California Couple

Why it is grouped here: Additional contextual review found direct identifying details for t024. Saved source text, not a name match alone, supports this association. The specific California couple-death reporting matches; the source association with fraud is not proof of causation.

The source links an AI Tom Selleck impersonation scam with an elderly California couple’s murder-suicide. The excerpt does not identify which person died by each mechanism; association is not an independent causal finding.
